A friend of mine sent me this ... a very interesting video on a foreign coin. I never knew it was like this. I'm sorry if this post isn't in the...
It's hard to tell from the photo, but it could be hub-doubling as well, which would make it DDR, rather than MD.
It's really not DDO ... it's machine/mechanical doubling (MD) caused by the die being loose in the holder/keeper. In the nanosecond after the die...
I am not a token collector, especially these Bust and Harp tokens. Looking at the Charlton token book, I think that it looks most like C1. It's...
Here is a thread from the Canadian section of the CCF site. It is one of many many threads/topics on the St George bank tokens of Upper Canada....

I have forwarded the thread to a couple friends .. hope they chime in, as they are avid collectors.
That coin has been my icon on here for 10 years.

I think that you need to put up a photo of a 1932, not a '36.
I'd say F-15, but need better pic. Also ... ALWAYS flatten your staples or each time that you move them in a box/pile/envelope, you will scratch...
